The faculty development grant supported a solo exhibition of my work at Galerie Michael Janssen in Cologne, Germany. The exhibition took place in the spring of 2005 and included a large installation and a group of smaller framed works. The large floor installation was made of collaged paper. The collage included a large number (750) of black and white promotional images of rock bands. The group represented the total number and of bands on major labels that were touring during the month the exhibition was on view. Viewers could walk on the work and inspect the pictures beneath their feet. The smaller collages incorporate elements from the promotional photos along with other materials.
